I cannot believe
that my last Blog post was on October 1st. Bee and I have been
very busy and we have let you down. I thought closing the Retail part of
my business would open up all kinds of time….I must have been dreaming!

I did get my
Storage units emptied, thanks to some great help from Linda! She just
kept nudging me along and we got it done. I spent a solid week
going through all of those Rubbermaid tubs that we moved over…it felt like an impossible
job, but I sorted and the gals marked the items and we set up a cute little
indoor sale spot and it was a whopping success! What did not sell was
donated and it felt sooooooo good! I never thought that I would have
empty Rubbermaid tubs that I would also donate to the Goodwill.

I have spent a lot
of time setting up our new workspace and my Studio! I just cannot tell
you how great it feels to know where everything is….and I am not wasting my
time with the frustration of wondering which tub it is stored in and in which
storage unit!! My Studio is once again spacious and I am surrounded by
the things that I love and it inspires me to create!

We are working
away on getting items available on line. Carrie has an Etsy site set up
and here is the
information………Our shop name is Wooly Moments and we can be found at the following link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/WoolyMoments?ref=si_shop We appreciate those orders that are coming in.

We are planning an
Openhouse on November 17th. Want to share my
Studio/Classroom/Work space with you and also announcements of upcoming classes
and projects. “The Red Chair” project will be available beginning on the
17th and classes and projects will be posted on all of our sites for
those of you that are not in the area.

The Backdoor…..

Bee and I see each
other almost every day, but we have not had time to continue on with our
Backdoor painting. We will keep you updated with changes and we will have
to finish it soon before the weather changes too much!

Winner of the
Vintage Sewing Bag…..

I hope you have
had an opportunity to check out my project featured in the latest American
Patchwork & Quilting magazine. We promised a great giveaway of a one
of a kind vintage bag that I created into a Sewing Bag…..the lucky winner
is Cindy Weed!!! Congratulations, we will be contacting you via email to getting your mailing information! Enjoy this great Bag from my heart to your
heart!!

December
“Snowbuddies”…….

I know that I am a
day late getting the December themed “Snowbuddie” to you, but for a good
reason. This month I designed two. The Reason for the Season
is different for everyone and so I wanted to design two different blocks….one very Whimsical with a string of Christmas Lights, Candy Cane and Holly.
And…I wanted to design a Snowbuddie shining with a Star behind him and abeautiful Nativity scene in his hands, called O! Holy Night. You decide
which works best for your Snowbuddie collection. I love both of
them!

NEW! NEW!
NEW!......Now, that we are over halfway through the “Snowbuddie” collection, I
have decided to offer these cuties in another medium. I have been
stitching mine in Redwork and you probably have been doing embroidery on
yours. I will now present the current “Snowbuddies” in Wool
applique. They are just gonna’ be so darn cute and as soon as I have the
current seven ready, I will present them to you. Kits will be available
for these wool projects, I think you are going to love them. At the end
of twelve months you will have 12 blocks to embroider and/or applique.

Hurricane
Sandy….

Oh my gosh!
To our East coast friends, my prayers have been with you all! Words
cannot come close to expressing the pain and sadness that we all feel as a
Nation. Blessings to you all!

Hey! Have a
wonderful November. I promise you will hear from me more this
month, so stay tuned, stay safe and be Blessed!

from Bee………………………

It was another busy week for my family. Busy weeks are pretty fun though. Cody had three basketball games this week and I had lots of dance classes and Christmas Presence practice. The production is getting close it's kind of scary!!! We have just started practicing like crazy. In my opinion the show is going to be the best Christmas show ever. The whole cast of the show is great. I can't wait until opening day, but I am glad that it isn't tomorrow. If you haven't bought tickets yet; I encourage you to get some cause it is going to be great. Plus the tickets are selling fast. Here is a link to where you can buy tickets. I hope to see you there!
